NAS Miramar Squadron VAW116 aboard USS Forrestal (AKA FID) and USS Nimitz, E-2B radar operator, Avionics Tech 1976-1981. You're gonna love SERE School.
lipofsky, I was part of CVW17 on the FID, med cruise. 1978...small world.
If I remember correctly, VA81 lost their XO on that cruise. It was a sad day on that boat...then just a few days later they had another accident that claimed another aviator.Last edited by timbo; 07-17-2012 at 08:21 PM.
